NFL, Dallas Cowboys and Marshawn Kneeland
Digest more
Marshawn Kneeland, after a college career at Western Michigan, was the Cowboys' second-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He earned a significant role in his first two seasons, recording 26 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in 18 games. But on Thursday, it was revealed that Kneeland had passed away due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Is Oklahoma State football playing today? Here's what to know of the Cowboys' 2025 schedule for Week 11 and beyond:
The Cowboys added Jaydon Blue with the first of two picks in Round 5, and fans had high hopes for the speedy back out of Texas. Through nine games, Blue has been a healthy scratch five times. In his four appearances, he has 65 yards on 22 attempts and one catch for five yards.
The easiest, and most common, explanation for the Cowboys current position is that their defense is wasting a potent offense (although the offense has also sputtered recently). It’s hard to argue against that as the defense is statistically among the very worst this season in the NFL, and in franchise history also ranks very poorly.
